“Disoriented Firefighter” Self Rescue
For those who may not be familiar, this training focused on “Smooth Bump, Bump to the Pump”. Learning how to locate the hose coupling while completely blacked out and identify your exit point, using the pump outside the structure as your reference. Took me approximately 20 mins to locate.
This drill is designed to strengthen firefighter awareness, orientation, and self-rescue skills while operating in low-visibility and disorienting conditions.
The goal is to build muscle memory, situational awareness, and the ability to stay calm and focused under pressure while navigating an unfamiliar environment. I was reminded of two mistakes I made.
1.) Don’t lose contact with the hose
2.) Don’t lose contact with my pack
